Mr. Tim Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he expects to announce the action he intends to take on the recommendations of the Eden committee on the metrological control of weighing and measuring equipment for use for trade.

Mr. Howard

The Government's response to the Eden committee's recommendations has been published today (Cmnd. 9850). The response sets out the actions the Government propose to take, having carefully considered the committee's report and the many comments received since its publication. Copies of the document have been placed in the Library.
